Thick fog lies over the village of Steinhausen, the pilgrimage church of Our Lady sticks out. The church tower casts a long shadow in the low sun, reminiscent of the clock hand of a sundial. How lucky to live in such a beautiful area!

Location
This is the pilgrimage church in Steinhausen, a small village near Bad Schussenried in Upper Swabia / southern Germany. It is considered the "most beautiful village church in the world"Time
The picture was taken in the early morning, some time after sunrise. Shortly before the whole place was hidden in the thick fogLighting
In the light of the low sun, the buildings cast long shadows in the clearing fogEquipment
I took this shot with my dji Mavic 2 Pro droneInspiration
Morning fog is very common in this area. I love these moods, the landscape looks different every time. That morning was particularly lucky...Editing
This is an HDR recording - so I took a series of exposures and combined it with the Aurora program from Skylum. The program has a lot of presets, you just have to choose the right oneIn my camera bag
First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD, but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the rucksack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fogFeedback
It is impossible to plan a comparable photo. If you want to photograph foggy moods, you need a region with moist soils and a cool night. But it is still luck how much fog arises, how high it rises and where exactly it arises. A good tip is definitely to start the drone when it is foggy
